This morning PBase disappeared along my hundreds of images. So now, most of my pictures that I have posted on POTN are just empty boxes. I guess that it is time to get a reliable photo hosting service. Any recommendations?

Aug 11, 2015 11:48 | #3 Here is a screen shot of what I see whether I try to go to my home page or the main page at http://www.pbase.com  Image hosted by forum (741454) © Bill Boehme [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff. I do agree that PBase has not kept up with the others. It is a mom and pop photo sharing site that has probably been going downhill for a very long time. SmugMug looks like a site that has a lot to offer. I have been feeling like I was locked into PBase because of all the images on POTN that are linked to that site. It hasn't been tht long since I renewed my membership. Atmospheric haze in images? Click for Tutorial to Reduce Atmospheric Haze with Photoshop.

Those question mark blanks persisted even after refreshing the page multiple times, closing and re-opening, etc. Then I looked in your Pacific Northwest 2009 gallery and tried to view the Twilight movie set image, but it wasn't there........why would photos be missing - what's up with that???THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW.

That is a great reason why it is usually better to ATTACH images to a post, directly from your computer, as opposed to linking to images that are hosted on a third-party website. "Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.

So I would guess that the pbase.com owner accidentally let the domain expire and just renewed it today. You should be able to access it again later today, you're most likely seeing the effects of cached DNS for the domain at either your ISP, your router, or computer level.

You can try switch the DNS you use either OpenDNS or Google Public DNS servers if you'd like to move away from depending on TWC's DNS servers: http://www.howtogeek.com …-pc-tablet-or-smartphone/ https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/?hl=en I used my iPad with Wi-Fi turned off. It is on an AT&T network so that should rule out my computer, or any other caching between me and my ISP. For a while it appeared that PBase was returning to normal, but then the images disappear again. Atmospheric haze in images? Click for Tutorial to Reduce Atmospheric Haze with Photoshop.

Images are coming and going. Earlier it appeared that all images were back and later many were gone. Looking at the pages, it appears that they were implementing a software update with some additional tools. The text formatting has been a mess all day and hasn't improved. It is especially bad in the user control panel. I'll wait a day or two to see if things improve. Atmospheric haze in images? Click for Tutorial to Reduce Atmospheric Haze with Photoshop.
